http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/01/09/fcc-may-redefine-broadband-as-25mbps-download-and-3mbps-upload

Quote
BY CHLOI RADThe Federal Communications Commission (FCC) may raise the speeds that qualify as broadband internet.

The proposed increase comes as part of the Congress-mandated Annual Broadband Progress Report. According to Ars Technica, the FCC "finds that broadband is not being deployed to all Americans in a reasonable and timely fashion, especially in rural areas, on Tribal lands, and in US Territories."

Raising the standard of broadband to the suggested 25Mbps download/3Mbps upload speeds would be quite a jump from last month's ruling, which stated all internet service providers receiving Connect America funds must offer speeds of at least 10Mbps down and 1Mbps up.

I can't be the only one excited about this, I was honestly shocked just weeks ago when the FCC said they were raising it to 10mbps.

The current minimum requirement for broadband internet is 4mbps down.

It's been like since forever because ISPs like Comcast and ATT won't be making as much money if it gets raised.

This is exceptionally good news to America's current Internet problems, but it doesn't fix the problem.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
You know, when they're not trying to censor everything on TV and radio, the FCC are some okay dudes.

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
That's pretty damn good, I get around that currently in a capital city.

Inb4 ISP's just use wordplay to get around not selling broadband and do fuck all for Ameri-net

ATT actually tried to do this earlier last year by selling a 2mbps service and claiming it was faster than broadband.

FCC took ATT to court and rekt them
